<p>We're excited to invite you to "Branching Out: The Forest Podcast," Season 2, Episode 6, where we talk about the work of IUFRO’s Division 6: Social Aspects of Forests and Forestry. Hosted by Jose Bolaños, IUFRO HQ, and Ngozi Edum, IFSA, this episode features Purabi Bose, Co-Coordinator of Division 6.</p><p> </p><p>For too long, the social dimension of forests and forestry was seen as a "soft skill", with people's participation often overlooked. This episode addresses that challenge, emphasizing that people's participation is crucial. You'll uncover how Division 6 serves as a key platform, fostering cooperation and interdisciplinary communication within the scientific community.</p><p> </p><p>Purabi Bose highlights the evolution of social aspects, moving from government-run programs to a focus on community-based forest management and conservation, especially involving local and Indigenous communities. Learn about recent scientific developments, including how funding is now increasingly decentralized and directed to local communities, and the growing emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion in forest work.</p><p> </p><p>The discussion touches upon critical topics researched by Division 6, such as forest recreation, nature-based tourism, conflict resolution, urban forestry, gender in forest science, forest education, and rural governance. This is an opportunity to explore how these social elements are not peripheral but central to sustainable forestry.</p><p> </p><p>Don't miss this insightful conversation that calls for more voices and diverse ideas to highlight the social aspects of forests and forestry.
